Hello
friends and family! It is been a crazy P-Day and even crazier week. So I’ll
just try and break this down and keep it short because I’m running out of time
and I’ve still got stuff to do.
Here’s
a quick update on all the people we met with this week and the area!
Edward:
he was a referral from Morgan.org! He is so
awesome! He came to church this week and he’s super open to the Gospel! He
actually just texted us earlier today and thanked us for meeting with him and
helping him see the purpose of his life and finding God and all of these
amazing things! He really enjoyed church and how kind the people are! He is
been having a rough go of life lately and as we’ve met with him I think it is
just helped him find the Savior. He excepted both Book of Mormon and the Bible
and we hope he’s been reading from both of them! We are looking forward to
meeting with him later this week.
Jack:
he’s this old guy. He’s super nice but was definitely more interested in what
the member had to say than what we had to say. He doesn’t like young people.
We’re hoping to establish a better relationship with him this week and continue
to meet with him!
Faith:
we haven’t been able to meet with her but she came to church again! Another
amazing thing is that she went to seminary all week last week. Now that’s
dedication. There are members who don’t even go to seminary every day all week.
We went to seminary this morning and she actually gave the devotional! This
girl is so faithful. It amazes me. Hopefully we will meet with her tomorrow and
be able to set her on the track to baptism! We are so excited and so thankful
that we get to work with her!
Elizabeth:
she’s great. We actually sent here with the baptismal date this week! It was
one of the best lessons that I’ve had with her. She expressed to us that she
wanted to be baptized and to overcome the things that are holding her back from
doing that. She also came to church this week and it was really good to see
her! Her baptismal date is set for June so it’s a ways out but that was the
time that we felt was right for her.
Emaani:
we haven’t met with her this week we are hopefully going to be with her next
week.
Shirley:
she’s awesome! We met with her and talk her the restoration and she expressed
as her she’s on a spiritual journey and is looking for the right church. We are
going to be meeting with her again tomorrow and hopefully will be able to help
her on the spiritual journey.
I
think that’s probably all the updates in regards to investigators. We haven’t
met with any less actives this week really, we did meet with Maggie though!
She’s doing great! So are her parents!
This
week we had zone conference! It was so awesome! We talked a lot about the plan
of salvation and about charity and having love for the people around us.
Charity so important! If the people you talk to don’t feel your love for them
than they will ever understand or progress in the Gospel. Christ was the ultimate
example of charity and as we continue to strive to be like him he will bless us
with the love that we need to help those around us continue on their path back
to Him.
President
Sikahema also spoke. He told the story of how he knows Maggie’s dad for the
500th time. He also kept calling me Sister Johnson and everyone giggled every
time he said that and I don’t think he ever noticed. Then later when I gave my
commencement testimony, as president Randall now calls it, President then said
“Sister Jackson, or should I say Sister Johnson?” Then proceeded to laugh. Ha
ha. It was actually super weird to know that this was my last zone conference.
I am just so thankful to have served my mission and to have known so many great
people. I am excited to finish out the next few weeks strong!
I love you all!
Always,
Sister
Jackson
